African-American couple, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson had planned to marry this month at the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs in Mississippi USA, but were asked at the last minute to move. Pastor of the church was approached by some congregants who didn't want the wedding to take place.
Husband: "All we wanted to do in the eyes of God was to be man and wife in a church that we thought we felt loved. What was wrong with that?... Because of the fact that we were black, some of the members of the congregation had got upset and decided that no black couple would ever be married at that church," Charles Wilson(Husband) told CNN on Sunday night. "If it was such a minority of people, why didn't the majority stand up and say, 'in God's house we don't do this?'" said Charles Wilson.
